Government has advised My TV, registered for broadcasting
license purpose as Strong Technologies, and any other satellite broadcasting
licenses based in Zambia, that it is illegal to provide a platform for
broadcasting for radio and television stations whose frequencies are restricted
to specific areas. This according to a press statement issued in Lusaka today by
the Minister of Information
and Broadcasting Services and Chief Government Spokesperson Lt. General
Ronnie Shikapwasha.

General Shikapwasha further said it has come to the
attention of Government that My TV has entered into contract with MUVI
TV to broadcast nationally through My TVís satellite broadcasting system,
programmes by MUVI TV which has its own broadcasting license. General
Shikapwasha explained that whilst satellite based broadcasting stations can
broadcast their programmes nationally, they are not permitted to take on their
platform broadcasts by other stations licensed in Zambia whose frequencies are
restricted. The Minister said, as a result of the above explanation, it is a
contravention of their licenses to provide a platform for restricted
broadcasting licenses to extend their services all over the nation. General
Shikapwasha cautioned My TV and all other stations to end the illegal broadcasts
immediately, or else have their licenses revoked if they do not take
heed.
